100Hz Digital Scan

Conventional TV creates a picture by scanning 50 times per second (50Hz). This frequency can be detected by the human eye in the form of a field flickering

picture. 100Hz sets scan 100 times per second, eliminating the field flickering.

Progressive Scan

A picture frame consists of two fields: the field with

the odd lines (field A) and the field with the even lines (field B). Instead of sending field A to the screen first, followed by field B, the fields A and B are written

at one time. In one second, a full image is created using the maximum resolution. At this speed, the human eye perceives a sharper picture with no line

structure.

HDTV Monitor

HDTV Display Capability (1080i). HDTV monitors enable you to view high-definition or enhanced-definition TV programming in the 1080i or 480p signal for-

mat. In order to do so, the TV must be connected via its component video or RGB inputs to a set-top box, which is set to operate in the DTV mode. A DTV

signal must be present in your area and the set-top box must be tuned to the proper channel. An external over-the-air antenna may be required. Another

option is HDTV broadcast satellite service. Stunning realism in both picture and sound are delivered!

Saphlon™ Screen

Saphlon™ Screen technology is built with

materials and processes that deliver more brightness and picture contrast. It guards against most scratches and fingerprints and eliminates the glare associat-

ed with a separate protective screen.

Active Control

With over 3,000 picture adjustments per minute,

this 'proactive control system' continuously analyzes incoming video signal qualities for Dynamic Noise Reduction and sharpness and then automatically cor-

rects them to be like the settings you previously selected in the picture menu.

APAC

APAC is designed to minimize the effects of image retention from stationary images on the screen. Because both analog sources (cable TV and DVD) and dig-

ital sources (HD and progressive scan DVD) have different aspect ratios (4:3, 16:9, 21:9, etc.), the picture on a digital television may have black bars on the

sides or top and bottom. When black bars are detected in either the 4:3 or 16:9 viewing mode, APAC automatically shifts the television picture pixel-by-pixel,

just enough to soften image retention. APAC works in both the analog and digital modes, so it provides excellent protection.
